5843 Waterman DARRELL HARTKE & NANCY FARMER Now in its third year, the garden was designed to be simple and easy to maintain for these busy owners. “At most we have a couple of hours on the weekend to putz around, dig in the dirt and battle the weeds”, says Nancy.

The lovely and practical wood screened porch serves as a summer-time living room. Turning deep shade from the huge silver maples into an asset, this tranquil porch and garden convey the feeling of a cabin in the woods where one can kick back, barbeque and relax after a hectic work week.
